Overview

Spanning the short but terrifying distance from the mainland to a tiny island, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is an adrenaline-pumping activity.

Built by salmon fishermen over 250 years ago, this once-thriving spot for anglers has now become a popular tourist destination, with visitors challenging themselves to make the crossing.

Plus, it's a picture-perfect spot for coastal photography with lookouts like Portaneevy Viewpoint.
